NAPO Supports National Runaway Prevention Month

November is National Runaway Prevention Month (NRPM). NAPO is an official partner of NRPM, which is co- sponsored every year by the National Runaway Safeline and the National Network for Youth. The goals of NRPM are:

To raise awareness about the issues that runaways and homeless youth face, and

To educate the public about solutions to preventing youth from running away from home.

When a youth runs away, the impact is felt throughout the entire community. Working together to identify resources and to help youth develop life skills can make the difference between a youth running away and/or finding needed resources.
